WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN AN ITALIAN FAMILY

1) You will never play professional basketball.

2) You swear very well.

3) At least one of your cousins is a fireman, cop, bar owner, funeral home owner

4) You think you sing very well.

5) You have no idea how to make a long story short!

6) There isn't a big difference between you losing your temper or killing someone.

7) Many of your childhood meals were boiled and store bought pasta or sauce/gravy was a

mortal sin.

8) You have never hit your head on a ceiling.

9) You spent a good portion of your childhood kneeling in prayer.

10) You're exceptionally poetic after a few bottles of vino.

11) Some punches directed at you are from legacies of past generations.

12) Many of your sisters and/or cousins are named Maria, Teresa, Gina or Sophia

13) Someone in your family is very generous. It is more than likely you.

14) You may not know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing.

15) You can't wait for the other guy to stop talking before you start talking.

16) You're not nearly as funny as you think you are but what you lack in talent, you make

up for in frequency.

17) There wasn't a huge difference between your last wake and your last christening party.

All life is to be celebrated.

18) You are, or know someone, named Anthony/Tony or Toni/Antoinette.

19) If you don't know Tony - then you know Sal. If you don't know Sal or Luigi, then you

know Joe, Frank, or Dino. Then you also probably know Rocco and his brothers.

20) You are genetically incapable of keeping a secret.

21) You have Italian Alzheimer's, you forget everything but the grudges!

22) 'Italian Leftovers' is a euphemism for 'spaghetti and meatballs.' Mangia!!!

23) You never need a spray tan - you always have warm coloring!
24) Childhood remedies for the common cold often included some form of warmed spiced vino.

25) There's no leaving a family party without saying goodbye for at least 45 minutes.

26) At this very moment, you have at least two relatives who are not speaking to each other.

Not fighting, mind you, just not speaking to each other.
